predilection

inexorably drawn
nuances of form
pale
to heart and soul and mind
oh but how they work together

Easton's Beach November

morning chill of fall
breeze subsides and sun provides
brief summer echo
wavelets lapping on the sand
warmth of sun on face and hands

resonance

moving near you
with you
or just seeing you

there's a bonus
to the smile and wave
the giggle
and the purposed stride

that turns the heat up
even more

we won't even mention dancing

dwindle

every goddess that I see
carves out a little piece of me
though who she is may not be clear
my heart imagines that she's dear
and would should caper hit the mark
offer up some bit of spark

to such a gray and tattered fool

sometimes If favored with a smile
some hope emerges for a while
only to turn to bittersweet
when my attentions force retreat
and in those eyes clouded with fear
reflections of this fool appear

my truth baldly revealed

mostly I continue on
a little more of me then gone
to dreams and wishes unfulfilled
while in it's place darkness instilled

but then a twinkle in my eye
completed with a smile that's wry
considering my complement
the company found where he went
and what they're all up to

clearly I must ... find portal through
perhaps the goddesses I view ...
